FisheriesBangladeshHarvard Dataverse

Dataset Objective

To assess the potential for polyculture of Tilapia and major carps in two coastal fishing villages of Bangladesh.

Context

A fishers’ women-led Participatory Action Research (PAR) was conducted in 30 homestead ponds to assess the potential for polyculture of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and major carps Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Catla (Catla catla) in two coastal fishing villages of Bangladesh.

What is included

Data contains fish production income, pond water quality components (transparency, salinity and dissolved oxygen) and baseline information for the applied treatments.

Collection Methods

Experimental studies - Three treatments, namely T1 (Tilapia 200 fish per decimal; 1 decimal=40 m2), T2 (Tilapia 200+ Rohu 32+ Catla 8 fish per decimal) and T3 (Tilapia 200+ Rohu 8+ Catla 32 fish per decimal), each with 5 replicates, were tried in Hossainpur and Anipara villages.
